"Details are important. For example, if you want to pay a bill or transfer some money, it makes a big difference where you place the period among the numbers.
Details are also important when you read the Bible as there is more to reading the Bible than we often assume. We sometimes hear a passage in Church and think we know it because we heard it before.
